### ANNEXURE A: SUMMARY OF PUBLIC INPUT

The Chairperson of the National Minimum Wage Commission (Commission) published, 
by way of the Government Gazette (GG), an invitation for written representations,
published on the 20th of August 2024. The public was requested to provide inputs
on the adjustment of the National Minimum Wage for 2025. In addition to the written
submission, a survey form was attached to the published notice. Six hundred and 
sixty (660) inputs were received.

Two input reports emanated from the public inputs, the first report comprised of
the results and findings from the survey form/questionnaire attached to the written
notice. The focus of this report includes demographic questions to assist the research
team to analyse the data better and to get more concise and direct responses to 
questions covering the major concerns of respondents and recommendations.

The second report included the written submissions from the organisations. This 
report provided a summary of the written submissions from the various organisations,
trade unions and interested parties. Both reports are presented to the commission
to aid in the deliberation process of the annual wage review. The following abstract
gives a summary of the findings from the submissions report, survey report, and 
the provided recommendations.
